Well, the screenshots will speak for themselves. I forgot Grasp of the Undying and took thunderlords and still did a lot of dmg. If I went Assassin build I would've died instantly as the other team had a lot of cc, but instead I walked right through their team (like a boss) and killed their adc. I did the most dmg too in my team. Can someone tell me what the problem is with the current meta? http://i.imgur.com/4YCbIH8.png http://i.imgur.com/PhD2QsL.png

I build iceborne on Riven now, much better than being a useless glass cannon and dying.

Who gives a damn if it gives me mana and I don't have any, it's OP AF.

EDIT: It's not safe or rewarding to play a skillful squishy champ and building damage unless you're an ADC, this meta blows. Anti tank itemization is crap and you're just better off building all the metagolem cheese you can and getting beefy while doing slightly less but still incredibly significant damage to a "normal" build

Most ADC players never stop building critical strike items, ever. Hell, you're lucky if they have a Doran's Blade nowadays. I notice that one didn't!

Hard to blow up an assassin that refuses to die.

We made the tank items stronger. Now here we are.

The bigger problem is they didn't have any real crowd control to stop you once you got into melee range. Someone with a really nice stun could have frozen you right in the middle of their formation when you go in to dive, and then what would you do?

That's not much stronger than regular Talon.

You will still delete even tanks if you go the Tiamat->Youmuus->Black Cleaver build path, as opposed to the Hydra Rush-> Duskblade path.

Also, people should stop taking long sword +3 hp pots against bad Talon matchups and spam pinging the jgler.

Well Titanic is pretty powerful and having an attack reset on hand would be pretty good on Talon if he gets the passive up. You also don't really have to worry much on animations as other characters might so it's a lot of quick efficient damage as well. Hmm, probably helped alot also that titanic was being proced 2-3 times.

This is actually looking kinda more like a Titanic problem actually. Extra damage, free reset, aoe damage that's what, 5 times that of the increase dmg to the main target, more on active. I hope that isn't the case, like using that reset on it. I wonder if the amplification works on the spread or if it considers it a separate thing for mercy.

Blame all the tank players who whined literally that 5 players could kill them after focusing them for 5 seconds, or that a fed 6 item Vayne could shred tanks, given that ADCs are the class designed to shred down tanks and Vayne is the best at it.

Metagolem too strong

I think partly is because adcs will 2 shot any squishie late game and since they auto attack they can kill your whole team in a matter of seconds. there need to be some changes to this whole crit+attack speed crit itemization. why do items give both as and crit. too powerful. and there is no negative side effect of building crit on an adc. I mean few times as an assassin. zed specifically. I had a vayne or a tristana kill me in 3-4 autos
